Download or read book Taylor Swift written by Michael Heatley and published by Mason Crest Publishers. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Taylor Swift's fourth full-length album "Red" sold 1.2 million copies during its first week of release in the fall of 2012, it registered the biggest single-week sales since Eminem's "The Eminem Show" a full decade earlier. It was her second consecutive album to top a million in its debut week and confirmed the talented 22-year-old as one of America's biggest stars. Like Eminem, she moved from a cult figure to become nationally (and internationally) known - but hers was far from a deprived childhood. The daughter of an investment banker, Swift emerged from a small town in Pennsylvania to become a star by sheer force of will. Her girl-next-door image was no pretense, but her most impressive achievement was crossing over from the country market, at which she'd originally been aimed, and making inroads on the mainstream charts. Her confessional brand of singer-songwriting has always been inspired by real life, so the fact she was dating Conor Kennedy from the famous political family in 2012 not only made headlines in the gossip columns but was also noted by fans as potential for future songs. This small-town girl with the big talent had become America's sweetheart - and seemed set to remain so.

At the age of 14 Taylor Swift became the youngest staff songwriter ever hired by Sony/ATV Tree publishing. By 2006 her first single had reached number six in Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart and after that - and three huge-selling albums - there was no stopping her. This insightful book about Taylor Swift's short but extraordinary life to date includes the inside story on the high-profile romances that inspired her songs as well as exclusive, in-depth interviews with her childhood friends and early mentors.
Download or read book Like Me written by Chely Wright and published by Pantheon. This book was released on 2010-05-04 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chely Wright, singer, songwriter, country music star, writes in this moving, telling memoir about her life and her career; about growing up in America’s heartland, the youngest of three children; about barely remembering a time when she didn’t know she was different. She writes about her parents, putting down roots in their twenties in the farming town of Wellsville, Kansas, Old Glory flying atop the poles on the town’s manicured lawns, and being raised to believe that hard work, honesty, and determination would take her far. She writes of making up her mind at a young age to become a country music star, knowing then that her feelings and crushes on girls were “sinful” and hoping and praying that she would somehow be “fixed.” (“Dear God, please don’t let me be gay. I promise not to lie. I promise not to steal. I promise to always believe in you . . . Please take it away.”) We see her, high school homecoming queen, heading out on her own at seventeen and landing a job as a featured vocalist on the Ozark Jubilee (the show that started Brenda Lee, Red Foley, and Porter Wagoner), being cast in Country Music U.S.A., doing four live shows a day, and—after only a few months in Nashville—her dream coming true, performing on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry . . . She describes writing and singing her own songs for producers who’d discovered and recorded the likes of Reba McEntire, Shania Twain, and Toby Keith, who heard in her music something special and signed her to a record contract, releasing her first album and sending her out on the road on her first bus tour . . . She writes of sacrificing all for a shot at success that would come a couple of years later with her first hit single, “Shut Up And Drive” . . . her songs (from her fourth album, Single White Female) climbing the Billboard chart for twenty-nine weeks, hitting the #1 spot . . . She writes about the friends she made along the way—Vince Gill, Brad Paisley, and others—writing songs, recording and touring together, some of the friendships developing into romantic attachments that did not end happily . . . Keeping the truth of who she was clutched deep inside, trying to ignore it in a world she longed to be a part of—and now was—a world in which country music stars had never been, could not be, openly gay . . . She writes of the very real prospect of losing everything she’d worked so hard to create . . . doing her best to have a real life—her best not good enough . . . And in the face of everything she did to keep herself afloat, she writes about how the vortex of success and hiding who she was took its toll: her life, a tangled mess she didn’t see coming, didn’t want to; and, finally, finding the guts to untangle herself from the image of the country music star she’d become, an image steeped in long-standing ideals and notions about who—and what—a country artist is, and what their fans expect them to be . . . I am a songwriter,” she writes. “I am a singer of my songs—and I have a story to tell. As I’ve traveled this path that has delivered me to where I am today, my monument of thanks, paying honor to God, remains. I will do all I can with what I have been given . . .” Like Me is fearless, inspiring, true.
